Tuesday, May 24, departs at 7 am Departs from the Wister Center Our two stops for the day were created by self-taught, motivated individuals. The first extraordinary garden belongs to Gail Gee. In 2001, inspired by the work of landscape designer and author Gordon Hayward, Gail began to completely transform her 3-acre, mostly clay, suburban yard into colorful borders with perennials and bulbs, rare shrubs and trees, decorative arbors and gazebos, patios, stone paths, bright trellises bowered with clematis, and a stunning collection of several hundred peonies including intersectionals (we hope to visit near peak bloom!).
The entire garden is maintained organically. Our second stop will be to Ladew Topiary Gardens in Monkton, Maryland for a guided garden tour. Harvey S. Ladew (1887-1976) created 15 thematic "garden rooms� on 22 acres of his 250-acre Maryland property. It is a wonder that Harvey, with no formal training and very little outside help, created such a magnificent, living masterpiece. He also transformed the old white farmhouse into the stately Manor House we will also tour. Travel by coach with Jeff Jabco and Julie Jenney. Bring your own lunch to have on the bus. Limit 30.
